I don't want to claim it was all food coloring but it only taste like vanilla ice cream. It wasn't too crowded at night and was able to get my order fairly quickly. I wouldn't really say this is a good matcha spot since it doesn't seem to have any matcha flavor. I had a suspicion from the menu options that they used to be Kyomatcha (a popular matcha dessert chain) but now called Matcha En. The good reviews are probably from the days it was Kyomatcha and not the current quality.

I recently tried UFOUU, the Chicago-based bakery known for their Japanese-style cheesecakes, and…read moreoverall it was a really a hit for me. I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.

It was a beautiful, fall Friday afternoon and I picked up my son downtown at college and picked up my daughter who was finished with work and lives in Lakeview. I wanted outdoor dining for a simple lunch and my daughter recommended Panes Bread Cafe because she used to live down the block. Plus she feels the sandwiches were the best for the price-- and there is outside dining. At first glance, I was a little cautious. No high end system here. Everything is hand made and home made. It was like you were stepping into my kitchen, so to speak. But, I do not make home baked bread! I ordered the Taco Salad, which was non eventful, but still very tasty. The dressing came on the side with a variety of greens, with avocado, chicken cheese and tomato pieces, topped by taco chips. It was pretty good for $5. My son ordered an amazing looking chicken sandwich with some kind of pesto mayonnaise on a roll. My daughter, who told us to order the Turkey, Turkey sandwich had the best sandwich, hands down. I was pretty full, after eating all the side bread and butter (I was a bad girl but it was truly home baked!) and so I turned down the dessert. My daughter had the "everything" cookie and my son had the chocolate chip. Both were good sized and very tasty. (They allowed me a small "taste".) I would order the "everything" cookie. All in all with dessert, soft drinks and a nice lunch for 3, the total came to $18. However, I purchased a loaf of their home made white bread which made our total $22. Then, I made the fatal error of leaving my loaf of bread on the ground, on the side of the chair I was sitting in. Boo Hoo. What a waste of $4!!! read more

I love this place so much and I really want to give it 4.5 stars. I lived a block a way from here for 2 years and I went here with my sister, my boyfriend, friend, or by myself once a week. I still go here despite the fact that it's more than a few el stops away! They have amazing homemade soups that are always served with a huge piece of their homemade bread - BEST CHEAP FRESH LUNCH! Their breakfast on the weekends is the best deal in town! I love their ham and cheese eggs and french toast. I recommend ordering off the specials - especially the Hispanic influenced because they tend to be the best! Yes, their tortilla soup is the real thing! My boyfriend loves their homemade mashed potatoes. I always have to get a loaf of rosemary olive oil bread to go - it is the best bread EVER. Their sandwiches are amazing because of their amazing homemade breads. However, I took a half star off because of my tiny little complaint I have about some of the meats and cheeses they use on their sandwiches. I sometimes think the turkey tastes cheap and overly processed. Which is why I stick to the specials! And how can you leave and not try a monster cookie?! Dessert is a must here! read more

Did not enjoy my experience here! I came here after my victory at Integrity Motors with my new car (see my review) but I did not enjoy myself. I was in such a great mood after getting my car I wanted to eat and I've heard such great things about this. For starters, incredibly packed. I can forgive this because its supposed to mean its good right...? Lady taking my order seemed wayyyyy to overwhelmed. Again, forgiveable but I had a bad taste in my mouth. Then they were out of tomatos... really? at a sandwich place? I was enjoying watching the pets on the patio until a rather ugly looking dog took an ugly looking dump right next to me by the window. What?? The owner didn't even pick it up. AGAIN - I can't blame Panes but wow I was getting on my last nerve. Food comes, cash only (thankfully I had some on me) and my bread is soggy. Just why, Oh Lord, just why. Left feeling disappointed and still hungry. Oh well, got my new car and this wasn't going to get me down. read more

It was a windy, rainy night in The Briar, and we were all wearing sweatpants. Everyone wanted dinner, but no one wanted to go out. If Chili's delivered chips and salsa, we'd be golden, but they didn't. So, we yelped all the pizza places we hadn't had before. Dominic was "trying to stay away from dairy *hand motion*" and annie wanted to tear up a peetz like whoa. So then she mentioned Panes, a place closeby with lots of delicious options to keep us eating during "The Real Housewives of New York City." We got kind of wild with it, ordering sandwiches, salads and pastas. and a cookie. what? it was that time of the month -- i needed a dessert. it was just a lot of shit. 3 bags for 4 people. so much food. but, after eating everything they had to offer, we basically concluded that the only thing worth it are the sandwiches. Just stick to those and you're golden. And they're only $5 and really big! So enjoy. read more

I was a little sad moving away form my favorite sandwich place in California but at least now I've found Panes! The service is always friendly and even when they are packed it never takes long to get my food.

The only negative it that you have to remember to bring cash or risk the dreaded $3 ATM charge. read more
